Its for the tutorial I think, you can hear the voice if you go to the steam store page for it, just watch the first trailer in the queue. If you cant be bothered, its a male british robotic voice with a helpful tone.

For me its Stellaris

Man, youre totally right and I now feel embarassed i forgot that.

So ultimately hashing an email address could be a good thing, but its a matter of half measures. Sure, you can perform a basic hash before putting it in the database, but if we assume hashing is performed to prevent it being read by an attacker, why bother unless youre doing it properly?

Passwords, being more sensitive, should only be compared once finished being entered, so you can afford to run all the hashing, salting etc that is a requirement to keep the passwords safe.

If you were going to hash the email to the same standard, it becomes harder to retrieve and display, so when the user wants to look at their profile in the ui, you have to run an intense cryptographic algorithm just to display the email. Or if you want to contact the customer, or any other use for their email. Hence, people dont bother.

I play PlateUp with a friend, we started on remote play while I wasnt sure if I liked the game. It had issues where if the window lost focus, I’d crash and the entire game session was lost. Anyway, I bought the game and have never had any issues since. Its super fun!

Highly recommend this wargame challenge from over the wire. It makes you think and also feels like hacking. Youre just using linux commands to find passwords but the skills transfer to heaps of usage across systems. It can be a little beginner-ish though.

Thought something was weird here. The contrast and colour is making it difficult. If you turn up shadows it changes the entire feeling, including where the obvious light source is. I wouldn’t expect the dark side of the mattress unless there was a bright light directly above it.

Also the banister/handrail arm wouldn’t be horizontal. Most importantly, congrats, you got me invested.

Can the propaganda have more pixels next time please and thank you, how am I meant to understand the wishes of glorious leader if I can’t even make out the words?

Was just going to say I prefer Nicole

Been seeing whoosh creep in here and I downvote where I see it. It’s not funny, it’s just annoying

Idk dude, depends what you want to do. If you want to SSH, sure, use the terminal. RDP apps work for me. My gnome de has decent menus for pretty much everything, except sound. I’ll admit that was weird. Turns out though, you can install a gui though so not an issue. Haven’t found a thing I want to do that didn’t have a gui yet. Been using it on every pc I own for about 3 years now.

Fuck yes. I switched to Linux after Windows got all control freaky over my task bar. On Linux I can have 30 task bars if I want, 100 task bars. I can setup a mouse-task bar that opens radially around my cursor. On mac I can put that shit left, right, bottom, which is something, and i can resize it which is the bare fucking minimum.

On Windows? Bottom. Full width. Don’t like it? Fuck you. Shut up and cope.

Oh but there’s a registry hack to… nope. Not dealing with that shit again after I tried to make the fucking icons smaller AND IT BROKE THE TASK BAR.

Love that proprietary feeling, those crisp millions of dollars of development being used to innovate and develop a robust and perfected operating system.

It referenced this btw, which does have the details you’re looking for. Not sure if it updated.

Little confused by the second link. It’s not about Draiman, its just one of the band members saying assassinating trump wouldnt do the US any favours (I somewhat agree for different reasons, killing him would have started civil war 2 most likely).

In case you missed it/didn’t think of it, there’s a rather notorious tweet about student loans (unless he deleted it) that rubbed me the wrong way so I’d use that instead personally. He basically said “you took out a loan, pay it back” which ignores all the context for those who got one.

Plus there’s the fact their lyrics in the last album seem very “can’t we all just get along” and tends to trivialise many of the issues in the US right now. It’s this idea of “if we all just talked we’d see we have common ground” bullshit like no one has had a real conversation in the last 25 years cos they’re all on their phones etc.

Boot: Yes, the windows boot drive (an old 128GB SATA SSD), but I hit F11 on boot adn selected USB to boot to that to do the install just like with Pop. But again the install worked fine at least on the older LTS version of Ubuntu. And it booted on USB correctly with the later version too, just as soon as it went graphical it b0rked.

So do you get a grub menu at all? Is there the Plymouth (green, grey and white text only) loading screen? What does booting look like? I need more detail here because I’ve had driver issues and this is sounding more like a boot issue. Would it be possible to remove other hard drives during a test installation then add them back afterwards? Totally understand work and life comes first and all but if you get the opportunity, I’ve got a hunch.

I’m thinking we need a matrix chat or something to send images and details on lol

Okay, so I’m assuming with Pop you used the nvidia driver edition which meant it loaded using that. It’s possible that Ubuntu tried using nouveau and failed to work I guess but I think I need to know more. Tell me about how you are connected to your monitor. Display port or hdmi? Do you have a docking station?

Were both installs using Wayland, xorg or dont know?

It’s interesting that Pop installed and showed everything but Ubuntus later version didn’t because Pop is based on Ubuntu and theoretically has most of the same drivers. I’ve experienced it not working exactly the same before but yeah, that’s odd.

Does your computer use secure boot and was it on at the time you tried installing Pop, and Ubuntu?

Was anything above the usb in the boot priority during the Ubuntu installation? If the screen was unresponsive and the device rebooted using Ctrl,Alt,Del then how do you know that was ubuntu?

Do you have a spare device such as a laptop around with an Ethernet port?

What other distros have you tried and have you ever used Linux Mint? It’s my GOTO for anyone new to linux (including myself).

Sorry that’s a lot of questions but I think more information could be very useful.

I’m curious what OSs and what issues you had. If you want, make a post in a Linux community and reply with the link here. I’d be keen to see where I’m at in helping others with Linux drivers since I just had some issues I resolved. I want to move my grandpa’s computer to Linux when Win10 runs out so it could be a practice opportunity.

Many can’t upgrade to 11 and don’t want to buy a new device. They’ll believe it’s their only option unless told otherwise. It’s not necessarily a “Win11 is bad” or “Linux/BSD is better” scenario, just a “to keep using your current device which you paid for less than a decade ago, do the following”.

Times are hard and people shouldn’t be forced to buy new hardware because of the current monopolistic software companies’s latest money making scheme, especially when their old one works perfectly fine and the environment is going to suffer.
